How to Select Healthy Butternut?

When selecting a healthy butternut, check for vibrant, green leaves free from spots or discoloration. Ensure there are no visible pests or signs of disease, such as webs, holes, or sticky residue. The overall structure should be sturdy, with strong, firm branches and an unblemished stem or trunk. Avoid plants with wilting or yellowing leaves, as these can indicate poor health. Choose a plant that appears vigorous and well-maintained.
